Kinda annoying that this has been warned about repeatedly before, and yet only when someone famous has it happen to them that they go “oh ok maybe this is a problem.”
The potential for massive amounts of election fuckery should have been what moved the government to action.
But at least something gave them a kick in the ass, so I suppose yay?
Still, I hope they consult actual subject matter experts, and don't just do a bunch of "common sense" sounding things that don't actually accomplish anything (or worse, cause a ton of collateral damage across all tech industries.)
Nations are fiefdoms.
It's not because she's famous, it's because she's rich.
This is what bothers me so much about this, how many people have been affected by this and the only reason this is finally being treated with the seriousness it deserves is because a famous person is affected?
She's not just famous, she's a billionaire. The government will move mountains for her now.
